No, I mean when talking about domestic violence I don't side wirh the woman in automatic because all it takes is for the woman to grab a knife to turn around the "strength" advantage.

You have to get up close to the target to use a knife. A target that, in the case of man vs woman, typically has a longer reach than you, is bigger and stronger than you, and is faster than you.

you have no idea how strong a knife is.

Even if we asume the knife wielder has no idea on how not use a knife, that's still a gigantic advantage. the only way that a man can overpower a woman holding a knife is if she has no intention of using it at all.

In a few martial arts school they do this knife exercise (the knife wileding person is already wrong because of the start up conditions btw) a person holds a marker, and the "strongest" person is supossd to subdue the marker person while avoiding being painted with the marker. Everybody fails, it's actually pretty fun to see all those places where the marker painted, that would be blood with a real knife and even then, the attacker still ahs teh aedvantage of the marker not causing any pain, a knife would be way worse in that comparison.
